this is giving me plastic beach energy... i'm tuned in

I already love it, the darker voice at one part. Listened to Gorillaz a lot the last few weeks again. Empire ants is just one of the best still.... and came to Out of Body, that I kinda totally missed! Love the build up in the song

Dennis Hopper, Bobby Womack, Dave Jolicoeur, Tony Allen, and Mark E. Smith are all dead..

I fear this album will heavily use AI...

“As such, voices of departed collaborators from previous sessions have been woven into the narrative, including Bobby Womack, David Jolicoeur, Dennis Hopper, Mark E Smith, Proof and Tony Allen. “I wanted to bring them into the conversation so that the record carries everybody and the whole history of the band,” he continues. It’s almost like they’re “talking from the other side,” Hewlett adds.”
